10:47 am - Sorry!Hey guys! My intro is coming and will be up later today or tomorrow! I am having laptop issues, as such I'm being forced to use someone else's computer for a while. Soon you'll know who I am! :) Just hang tight!

My boyfriend and I have known each other for 5 years, and in all those 5 years, he has always had long hair. When I met him, it was just brushing his shoulders, and as time wore on, it started brushing the top of his butt. I loved his hair, and so did he, and everyone else. However, there was a reason he was growing it that everyone seemed to overlook. His father died in a car accident before I met him. His father had very long hair. In the penobscot tribe tradition, his father's braid was cut and given to him before the funeral. he always wanted to grow his hair out to the memory of his father, and felt that he would cut it when he was ready. Well---he cut it! This is a huge step for him, as it's another step forward in his acceptance and healing of his father's death. Next month, we're going to go to the graveyard in Maine where his father is buried and put Pete's braid on it.
